Quote HistoryQuoted: Perhaps because it is ugly as fuck from every angle you view it from? I avert my eyes from looking at them as if trying to avoid looking into the headlight/highbeams of oncoming cars. Have tried to find some feature I like and I have yet to do it. Fuckin ugly. Outgoing C7 Z06 and Grandsports going out as best looking corvettes. The new 24 Mustang is similarly fucked up tho. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: How is the Corvette fucked up ?

Things are fucking hideously ugly and look like they were designed by team of idiots. Quoted: That's a pretty strong opinion about something you don't want to purchase or care about. If Amy Shumer whipped her tits out in public and you saw them you would have a right to a strong opinion over something so hideous. Midcap might like it but that doesn't mean everybody wants to go hoggin. Quoted: Those people are missing out on a great driving and performing car. And I am fine with that. I very much like a specific lay out of a car design wise. Maybe it is some kind of deep rooted autism but styling wise I like long hoods and short overhangs that come from a front engine rear wheel drive layout. Viper Daytona Jaguar E Type Corvettes excluding the C8 Ferrari's cars like the 812 Pony Cars of the big 3 To the point that yes I will give up performance for a car that does not make me wince to look at it. I am not lying in saying I have not found a single body line on a C8 that I like. Z06s are starting to show up in town and even they cannot be saved. GT40 is among the sexiest cars ever designed, Porsche 918 goddamn sexy as fuck. The C8 misses terribly on styling. |

That largely disappeared until the FR500s and Boss 302S came along. Just wish Ford made more of the damned things. Very few of those Cobra Rs made it to the track even after Ford required a racing license to get one. Somebody on the forum has a 302S and possibly a comparable FP350S but I think those were crossplane 5.2 Aluminators. |

A more affordable GT would have been cool. This. Imagine a factory stripped Mustang GT with no rear seats, no A/C, no power window/locks/seats, but still with all the power and braking of the GT? That would be badass. Ford had something similar back in the day with the LX 5.0 Mustangs. They were universally considered "sleeper" Mustangs because they had all the performance of the GTs but none of the fancy, distinct extras that the GTs had. I had one, a 1987 LX 5.0 with no A/C, roll-up windows, non-powered locks, and no powered anything else for that matter. The same demographics that were interested in the LX 5.0 back in the '80s would be the target market for a modern one: high school and college grads who wanted a performance Mustang but at a lower price point, guys their 20s who were interested in performance but not necessarily the look of a performance car (ie., the sleeper concept), and older buyers who think it might be worth something some day because it was a special Mustang. Lastly, Ford sort of dabbles with the concept every ten years or so with the Bullitt Mustang, where they toss a few extra performance goodies at the car, paint it dark green, black out the wheels, and don't put any distinctive GT spoilers or stuff on it. Ford could call a new, stripped GT the GT-S or use the old LX moniker again. |

From the pics:
1) It does NOT look like there is nearly enough room in the back for any non-flat4 motor. 2) If it is rear mid engine, what is under that long front hood? According to the linked article: "Additionally, it may not be a mid-engine design either, but that remains a possibility at this moment in time." I suspect the leaked photos are not actual rear mid engine at all. Perhaps the oddly-named "Front mid engine" where a longitudinally-short motor (like a V6) is positioned completely behind the front axle line, but still ahead of the driver compartment? |

But once the Z06 and Zr1 C7 were out and struggling to put that power down, they had no choice. Should have been mid engined since the 70's but better late than never. And if they really wanted to go mid-engine there was no requirement that they release the hideous thing that's called the C8. There are plenty of amazing looking mid-engine cars out there but the C8 looks like it was designed by two separate teams... and the team who designed the rear half of the C8 had spent their whole careers designing vans and pickup truck beds. Ok. Please name a successful performance car that had less power than the previous generation. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You're the first person I've heard say the Voodoo doesn't incredible. Voodoo had other issues but sound wasn't one of them. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Oh god...Ford is going to royally fuck this up without questions. Remember that last cool thing Ford did? The 5.2L voodoo flat plane....well the retards at ford managed to make a flat plane v8 sound like a bag of smashed ass holes screaming for help. A flat plane is supposed to sound like a symphony of dead dinosaur juice exploding under pressure and FIRE! Instead they made a nasty sounding engine that sounds like a hoarse coyote is shitting out a stuck rock You're the first person I've heard say the Voodoo doesn't incredible. Voodoo had other issues but sound wasn't one of them. Agreed. The Voodoo is an angry, self-destructive, high-strung psychopath on meth, but sounds reallllly goooooood... |
